Our motto is simple, everyone deserves the right to breathe clean quality air, regardless of their income, race, or zip code.
Most NYC neighborhoods lack real-time air quality monitoring sensors, with the majority concentrated in wealthier areas. This leaves low-income communities without critical information about the air they breathe.
To close this gap, O₂-NYC is designing and distributing affordable air sensors that provide real-time pollution data, equipping communities with the tools they need to advocate for cleaner air.
How We Make a Difference:
Affordable Air Sensors – Low-cost devices tracking air pollution city wide
GIS Data Mapping – Live and interactive pollution tracking for everyone to see
Policy & Community Advocacy – Partnering with local officials, environmental justice groups, and community organizations to push for real change through the usage of our data
